Thread

Hello,

I’ve contacted my hosting company (which is EE Hosting) and they said that the issue is definitely not related to the hosting package, and instructed me to come to the forum to find out why the CP is super slow.

After searching, I can only find posts about EE 2.

I’m running ExpressionEngine v 1.6.9, and the control panel is extremely slow, it takes 10-15 seconds to load a page to edit.

Please advise on how to resolve this. I’ve updated to the most recent version of EE, and that didn’t help at all. I disabled Version check as well.

Thanks so much for any help!

Annette, did you also try disabling News feeds? Are you using any extensions?

News feed is disabled on Client’s version, but I’ll also try that on mine to see if it improves.

Yes, I am using the following extensions:
jQuery for the Control Panel (v.1.1.2)
LG Live Look (v.1.0.4)
Edit Alert (v.1.1)
Edit Tab AJAX (v.1.2.2)
Edit Menu (v.1.0.2)
FieldFrame (v.1.3.5)
LG Addon Updater (v.1.0.2)
Champagne (v.1.0.1)

It ran fine until recently, so then I did an upgrade - which didn’t help.

About the only thing I can see is this:

HM, ok well I’m not using 2.0.2, I’m using 1.6.9 - sorry kinda confused.

My problem, not yours. 😊 But it’s a similar issue..

Anyone else have this problem? I still don’t know what to do or how to help speed up the control panel. Does the amount of weblogs affect the control panel speed? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks!

It could.. how many do you have? How many custom fields?

I have 26 weblogs total - many of them are controlling small blocks of information throughout the site. Each page on the site and sidebars are all controlled by separate weblogs.

Not sure if that is an extraordinary amount or not?

The client is continuing to have a lot of frustration with how slow the CP is.

Annette,

Can you temporarily disable your extensions using the large green button on the top right to see if that makes a difference. Using the green button will keep your settings intact. Do not disable individually.

CP Home ›  Admin ›  Utilities ›  Extensions Manager

Also can you check to see how much PHP memory you have. Do a search for memory_limit and tell us its value

CP Home ›  Admin ›  Utilities ›  PHP Info

The Memory is 64M

Turning off the Extensions Manager improved it a Ton! However, I had to turn it back on, because turning them off broke the website. All the images were missing.

Now that I know it is one of the extensions, how would you suggest problem solving?

I turned each one off and on to see which extension is causing the problem. It was FieldFrame (v.1.3.5). I upgraded to FieldFrame 1.4.2 and it didn’t help.

I’ll look into this further, but if anyone has experience with this, any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!
Annette

Hi, Annette, glad you were able to figure out what’s causing the slowdown. You may need to contact Brandon about this.
